Dear Vendors,

We know that it's been hot lately, but we should get a little break this Saturday, with a high of 86F, a low of 71F, and a 66% chance of rain. The forecast calls for "times of clouds and sun, a couple of showers and a thunderstorm in the afternoon." Winds at 7 to 10mph and a UV Index of 7.

For full-time vendors who are renewing and returning in September, October, or November, Jim will be giving you your renewal contracts soon in person (or mailing them if you are away for the summer).

Best Wishes,

The Market Staff

Vendor Spotlight

Happy Independence Day! Celebrate with the colors of the season from Central Florida Blooms!

"Happy Independence Day 2019 from The Pickle Patch! This is a great time to get together family and friends and enjoy each other’s company and celebrate. Adding a few of our specialty items could make your holiday cookout extra special. Try our pickled onions in your potato salad, or add a half cup in a crockpot while cooking pot roast! Our sweet jalapeños are also excellent for dips, adding an extra layer of flavor!"

Happy Independence Day! Feel the FREEDOM! Krazy Kombucha is very thankful. Freedom is not free. It is a precious gift. See you at the Market Saturday 8am-1pm with ice cold Kombucha!

Your SNAP Dollars, Doubled!

Did you know that if you have a SNAP Access EBT card you can use it at the Market Information/FAB tent every Saturday? Take as much money off your card as you want, receive red tokens in exchange, and spend the tokens like cash with participating vendors. Also, we will double your SNAP dollars with up to $40 worth of FAB tokens. That means that you if you spend up to $40, you will get $80 back! The green FAB tokens can be spent on Florida-grown fruits, veggies, and edible plants. So what's stopping you? Double your SNAP dollars every Saturday!

Give the Gift of Options!

Purchase Market Bucks, Use with Any Market Vendor!

Buy Market Bucks from the Market Information/FAB Tent on the southwest corner of Kentucky Ave. and Pine St. The Market Bucks don't expire for a year, and they can be spent with any vendor at the Market. [If you plan to purchase more than $20, please call or text (863-259-6971) or email (bmelson@ldda.org) in advance.]

The Market Footprint

Ever wondered where, exactly, the Market ends and begins?

The Market stretches directly north from the train tracks, up North Kentucky Avenue, across Pine Street and Bay Street, all the way to Oak Street. That's over four blocks of Market fun!

Ever wondered where to park?

There is parking conveniently located at both ends of the market--on Oak Street and across the train tracks by Munn Park. There is also limited on-street parking on Tennesee Ave. and Pine St.
